ESCA translates the ethos of “Simply Mediterranean” into space, bringing the refined yet understated spirit of the Mediterranean to İzmir İstinyePark. The design balances technical volumes, dining hall, and service areas around a sculptural 360° bar in marble and bronze, the heart of social interaction. A once outdoor terrace is now an interior-like hall through wood panels, travertine flooring, earthy tones, and tropical greenery. Sunlight enlivens the space by day, concealed lighting warms it at night. ESCA blurs boundaries between inside and out, embodying Mediterranean warmth, sincerity, and sociability.
